Clean out the Garden Bake Recipe

Looking for a one-dish meal that’s easy on the budget? This Clean Out the Garden Bake in an easy casserole (or Hot Dish for those of you from the Midwest) that utilizes vegetables from the garden, pasta, bottled spaghetti sauce, and Italian Meat Mix from the Italian Meat Mix Module. Most of the simple ingredients are probably already on hand either in the garden, fridge, freezer, or on the pantry shelves.
This delicious casserole is a full meal; the only accompaniments that might be needed are some crusty bread and a tossed salad if so inclined. The casserole can be assembled the night before and refrigerated until time to bake – just add 15 extra minutes baking time. Although it calls for penne pasta, it’s okay to substitute whatever pasta is on hand, including leftovers.
